Midnight in a Bottle | Beauty Heroes 2017

On the fifth day of
Christmas my true love sent to me this little number called… Kiehl’s Midnight
Recovery Concentrate.

I am starting on a strong
note with my 2017 beauty skin care favourites. After reading and hearing
numerous reviews from bloggers and vloggers that I trust I did nothing else but
send my fiancé, now husband, to buy
me a bottle from duty free. However, he did not have as much trust in bloggers
and vloggers as me, especially considering the product’s price, so he returned
with three samples he had received from a Kiehl’s shop assistant at Heathrow
Airport.

I always wonder how is it
that when I ask for a beauty samples they never have any, but when I send my husband
he always manages to return with multiple samples of the products I asked for,
and additional ones. Where is the fairness?

Anyway, I used the three
samples every night, which lasted for almost a month and a half and I was sold.
I knew that I wanted a full bottle!

Everything you need to know about Kiehl's Midnight
Recovery Concentrate

I use it at night after having
a shower as the concentrate treats my skin over the night whilst I’m sleeping.
At this point I have to mention how rapidly this overnight sensation is absorbed.
A little medicine dropper helps me to control the amount of product I use,
which is usually two drops as Kiehl’s promises. Bye bye oily, greasy face and
dirty pillow. This is my pet peeve; any oily product is just not for me.

For me the smell of
Lavender Oil and Evening Primrose Oil is very calming and non-intrusive, which
is what I need before going to bed. I would not want a strong and chemical
fragrance on my face just as I am about to sleep.

I know some reviews have
said that they see effects after the first use. My sensitive, dry, and oily
T-zone area skin is not as easily pleased. Not really a surprise looking at the
mix of needs that my skin has.

After the first use my
skin was definitely softer. However, it took around a week for the magic to
kick in and to lift up the dullness and restore the appearance of my skin by the
morning. My skin started to be and still is softer, radiant, nourished, and revitalised
even after over a year of use.

An extra bonus for someone
who is a strongly visual person is the luxurious packaging. I like products to
be in glass containers and this one is especially nice due to its deep blue
colour, which also happened to be one of my favourites. It reminds me of the
glass containers my grandmother had on her wooden dressing table with three-way
large mirrors.

Summing up: I am in love
and so is my skin!

In case you wonder: All of
the products from my Favourites 2017 series were bought by myself and are not
part of any collaboration/PR package etc. Basically no one paid me to say they
are awesome and any brands mentioned here do not know they are mentioned here
until the recommendation goes live.
